"Fairy Globe" - 5 x 7 inches Oil on Hardboard

I have always loved fairies.  I have a collection of fairies and this globe is one of them.   I have a couple of large outdoor globes that have lights shining on the bubbles.  This gave me the idea for the Fairy Globe painting.  I painted the blues using the glazing technique which gives it such a deep rich color.  I was trying for a mystical night feel. One must see this in person to see the true richness of the color.  The blue color is one of my favorites. This painting (one of 2)  has been chosen to be published in Richeson 75 Small Works.
